Xiao Wulai Scenic Area, located in Fuxing District of Taoyuan City, Taiwan, is a well-known destination celebrated for its breathtaking natural beauty. The most famous attraction here is the Xiao Wulai Skywalk, a transparent glass bridge that hangs over the valley, offering visitors a thrilling view straight down into the depths below. Another highlight is the Xiao Wulai Waterfall, where water cascades dramatically from great heights, creating a stunning spectacle.
Given the vast area and the high volume of visitors, the surveillance system must cover a wide and complex range of angles and locations. Some cameras are positioned in remote areas, such as forest trails that require an hour’s hike to reach, making maintenance a significant challenge. To address this, the relevant authorities have chosen to implement the LILIN solution, constructing a comprehensive and reliable monitoring framework. This approach avoids the inefficiencies of a patchwork system, ensuring smooth operations.
Focusing on the core area, the Skywalk, which is a major gathering spot for visitors, multiple speed dome and bullet cameras have been deployed. The bullet cameras are positioned to monitor fixed angles and can be upgraded in the future with crowd-counting capabilities, aiding in park management and manpower allocation. Meanwhile, the speed dome cameras allow the management team to dynamically survey the surrounding environment, ensuring that no area is overlooked.
"Although the park's security measures are excellent, it's inevitable that some visitors may not follow the rules," said Steve Hu, Chief Information Officer at LILIN. "LILIN's electronic fencing system allows for flexible zone restrictions and time-based management. With the support of AI, it significantly reduces false alarms. For example, if a flying squirrel enters or roams near the trail at night, we can configure the system to avoid triggering an alert."
With manpower often limited in scenic areas or national parks, remote management features become crucial. All of LILIN's network equipment can be managed via the cloud, allowing for monitoring, firmware updates, and detailed configuration changes without the need for on-site visits. This significantly reduces the risks associated with maintenance.
